Summary
Regulus has always known he's destined to drown. He feels it deep in his chest, past his rib cage, nestled somewhere behind his organs. He feels it in his arm when his mother squeezes it a little harder than a mother should. He felt it, the water rising in his throat, when his brother slipped out the window and into the night. He often wonders if it'd be easier to just let himself sink.
He often wonders if he has a choice.
Regulus gets sent back to school with a mission from the Dark Lord himself— find the “beast in the chamber” and claim its fangs without killing it. But when a certain curly-haired bespectacled boy asks for a rather large favor, everything suddenly gets a lot more complicated.

step into the daylight and let it go by serendipitysirius
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
14 Aug 2023

Summary
James Potter loved Lily Evans from the moment he knew what it truly was to love anybody. But, in the end, it didn’t matter that James had declared that he would never love anyone else but Lily. Because he still lost her.
One year on from Halloween 1981, James is struggling to raise Harry alone whilst drowning in an impenetrable dark sea of grief, determined to never love again. Because, in his experience, to love, is to lose.
Luckily, Regulus Black knows quite a lot about loving and losing. And drowning, too, considering the fact that he survived the cave in 1979 and faked his death for two years, popping in to give Sirius the fright of his life on Halloween.
And, consequently, showing up just in time for the events that followed. The shattered remnants of people that the war left behind.
Maybe Regulus will be able to show James that it’s okay to extinguish the first love flame, whilst simultaneously giving him the parenting help he is too ashamed to ask for. And, in return, maybe James will manage to convince Regulus that love isn’t something you earn, something that always has a catch.
Maybe they just needed one another all along, to take that step into the daylight.

Summary
“The only reason I haven't killed you where you stand is because you wear that family ring. It would have seared off your pinky if the magic considered your claim to my family illegitimate. You’re not my heir but you belong to someone.” Regulus crouched down in front of Harry Potter whose veins were pumping polyjuice potion as he writhed against the full body bind. “I'd like to know who.”
Bellatrix kills Sirius Black, Harry Potter kills Bellatrix Lestrange, and then everyone else.

With a Conquering Air by inexplicifics
Fandoms: Wiedźmin | The Witcher - All Media Types
28 Mar 2020

Summary
From the kinkmeme: AU Warlord!Geralt receives Tribute!Jaskier as a sacrifice to appease him in every way possible. Jaskier has no choice on the matter and he’s fully aware of the awful rumours that have spread about Geralt and his ruthless conquests. (But we all know those aren’t legit.) A classic angst with a happy ending please! A dash of smut to heal those scars and a sprinkle of new found love!
Jaskier arrives at Kaer Morhen knowing his family gave him up without a second thought, and absolutely sure that the dreaded Warlord of the North will value him even less than his own blood did. But the White Wolf and his pack are not what Jaskier expected...and if he's unreasonably lucky, Kaer Morhen might become far more of a home than Lettenhove ever was.
...He is, in fact, going to be unreasonably lucky, because the Warlord of the North is a far finer monarch - and a far better man - than Redania's king has ever dreamed of being.

Summary
LONG fic charting the marauders' time at Hogwarts (and beyond) from Remus' PoV - diversion from canon in that Remus's father died and he was raised in a children's home, and is a bit rough around the edges. Otherwise canon-compliant.
1971 - 1995This IS a wolfstar fic, but incredibly slow burn. Literally years. Long build up but worth it I promise!
PLEASE DO NOT COPY TO WATTPAD. SERIOUSLY, WHY??

DISCLAIMER: I do not support JK Rowling's disgusting transphobic views.
NOTE: I AM NO LONGER READING OR REPLYING TO COMMENTS ON THIS FIC

Summary
In a world where Elementals are treasured members of society, the percentage of them are dropping. To combat this, each kingdom arranges for the most powerful male and female of their element to marry in hopes of them producing elementals who will go on to produce more. Marriages can be arranged, but love? That's a whole different story.
Or
Quentin Coldwater knows he’s meant to marry Julia Wicker, and she knows she’s meant to marry him. As the most powerful male and female of their element, it was only a matter of time before their marriage was arranged. And it’s good. They’re best friends. It’s going to be easy. Except for the fact that Quentin is head over heels for the strongest male earth elemental and Julia is in love with the strongest female and male fire elementals. While Alice Quinn and Margo Hanson are also pining for each other, Josh just wants to be single. What’s the worst that can happen, really?

Summary
After his mother's death, Neil no longer has any reason to ignore his seventh and final Hogwarts letter when it gets delivered to him. He needs time to get back on his feet and ready his plan to run somewhere far, far away from his father’s grasp. Hogwarts sounds like a safe place to bide his time. Unfortunately for Neil, nothing is ever that simple. When Hogwarts hosts the Triwizard Tournament, he quickly gets caught in the middle of the unfolding competition, an old feud, a deal between two friends, and possibly something larger that’s at play.

Summary
Blue Sargent is a writer at a magazine and she's sick of writing articles about shoes and makeup and boys. She wants to write articles about issues that really matter. When she tells this to her boss, her boss makes a deal with her that she can write about whatever wants if she writes an article on how to lose a guy in ten days first. She does not want to write the article, but she decides it is worth the creative liberties writing it will allow her afterwards, so she sets out with her best friend Adam to find someone truly terrible to date and convince to drop her in ten days or under.
Richard Gansey is worried about his best friend who has an overwhelmingly cynical view of nearly everyone. Gansey's been trying to convince Ronan to let someone else in or at least give someone a chance, but Ronan has no interest in dating. Ronan and Gansey make a deal that if Gansey can date a girl for ten days and not be totally miserable or end the relationship, then Ronan will go on one date. Gansey thinks this is the perfect deal since Blue is interesting and all he has to do is last ten days with her to convince Ronan to give dating a chance.

Summary
What if Neil’s mom had not only stolen Neil away on that night but also Kevin? What if Kevin and Neil were raised on the run together, but instead of watching from afar, they learned to play Exy in every country they ran to? What if Neil and Kevin developed a brother bond super strong from living on the run together and trying to keep each other alive?
-
“Because you’d get to play together.”
He swore he heard Neil’s heart stop and start again in time with his own. He could die a thousand times and never hear a more perfect sentence. He and Neil, side by side on the court. Playing Class I Exy. He wanted it more than he’d ever wanted anything in his life.
...
Underneath the mask that was Samuel Josten, what was left of Kevin Day thought it was probably worth dying for.Bookmarked by 8pi
